else is looking at. Knowing it will sew discontent, knowing it will pull you

away from your spot.

Their view must be better than mine.

The Lord must have them standing in beautiful fields with flowers

putting out their smell and the sun shining down, their faces

brown from it.

"If we complained less and were more thankful, we would be happier, and God would be more

glorified. Every day thank God for ordinary mercies. Let us thank Him that we are not among the hopeless or confined among the guilty; let us thank Him for liberty, for friends, for family and comforts.

Let us praise Him, in fact for everything that we receive from His generous hand.

If you roam the universe, you will not find another friend like Jesus; if you could have all the comforts of life but lost your Savior, you would be wretched' but if you win Christ, then you could rot in a dungeon and even there find peace. If you live in obscurity or die hungry, you will still be satisfied with favor and will be full of the goodness of the Lord." C.S Spurgeon

Let your feet stand firm on the ground God gave you. Be thankful for the view.

Is it raining? Be thankful for the rain. Is it a beautiful view? Be thankful. Is it lonely where you're

standing? Know your Father is standing next to you. Your view will change but first you have to stand until the Lord changes your season, until He changes your view.

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."
